Hehe, not at all. It's probably because I am European and I have never travelled to East Asia but when I travel around Europe I often find the different nations blend alot and share alot of cultural aspects with their neighbours, they do of course have their own national identity however. From my (poor) viewpoint I see Japan as taking concepts from abroad and expressing them in a manner which makes them very much their own, like the Japanese take on Californian culture with the Ganguro style. This idea could be completely wrong - but I was wondering if there were any examples to support it?
